HORTA

Agricultural landscape of Islamic or medieval origin that was able to be built through the utilization of irrigation ? with the irrigation system to flooding irrigation ? and the creating patches on a given slope that can be watered individually and autonomously by gravity. Its size is variable, from large orchards as in Valencia or Murcia, to small mountainous areas. Traditional orchards, which generally have used the water coming from sources such as springs, rivers, mines or ravines, they are also very beneficial to the environment, because, through the irrigation network infiltrations, they allow aquifers to recharge.
